Is mays torchic a boy or girl?

May's Torchic, which she receives in the Pokémon games, is typically depicted as a female. However, in the Pokémon anime, Torchic’s gender is not explicitly stated, leaving it somewhat ambiguous. In the games, players can choose the gender of their Pokémon, but May's Torchic is often assumed to be female due to its evolution into a Blaziken, which is shown in the series.
